Pros

imaware used to be (as the other reviews show) an awesome place to work that had vision, good people, resources, and provided a supportive workplace. There is still some of this remaining, but there's a lot of change going on, including so many people leaving. Hopefully the new people coming in will help to rebuild the culture. Having Friday afternoons off during the summer and 100% remote options is a great perk.

Cons

The company lacks long-term, strategic vision. We are always moving from initiative to initiative when we just outlined what the last one would accomplish. This results in starting a lot of new things (MVPs as the leadership calls it) which are barely functional, then because a new idea came along, we focus on building that. The revenue growth from adding new clients has also stalled out. There has been promise of a few "really large clients" that became the focus, but none have produced any quantifiable benefit for the company. As a result, the cofounder who was the CEO for a 3+ years was recently forced to step down by the board. They replaced him with a President who's only focus is making money. In the last 6 months, 4 department heads have left the company and 5 other people left (the company only has 45 people). They also brought in a Chief Growth Officer who is very out of tune with the industry and will even steal your ideas. It's very toxic and I dread opening my laptop every day.

Pros

Being in the health industry, it is great to have leadership that is empathetic and puts people first. There are growing pains (as with any start-up) but the transparency and inclusion makes the imaware™ team feel like a family. - Competitive pay - Great culture (No pressure to compete with one another, coworkers are always willing to help, fun activities) - Lots of potential in the health tech industry for growth

Cons

- No 401K match (yet)
